When she was teleported to the other world in October 2016,<ref name="2.01" /><ref>Also, just one month after [[wikipedia:Suicide Squad (film)|Suicide Squad]] started in US cinemas on August 4, according to [https://wanderinginn.com/2016/12/18/1-08-r/ Chapter 1.08 R]</ref> she appeared in the middle of a crowded street in a human city in northern [[Izril]] while she was out jogging; only having her wallet, her watch and her iPhone with her.<ref name="1.01 R" /> She decidedly wanted to avoid spilling her knowledge among the locals, so that she wouldn't influence the natives in any way. So she became a runner around the southernmost cities of the human part of Izril.
Her sudden appearance, her barefoot running and her becoming the fastest city runner around Remendia and Wales attracted the attention of several people, including [[Magnolia Reinhart]], who tried to gather information from Ryoka but failed to even guess her homelands. That made Magnolia even more determined to interrogate Ryoka, who was severely injured after being bullied by 'fellow' Runner [[Persua]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/11/06/1-03-r/ Chapter 1.03 R]</ref> Magnolia offered her to take her to a healer, knowing that fixing the broken leg would costs hundreds of gold coins.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/11/23/1-05-r/ Chapter 1.05 R]</ref> However, Ryoka had recently made the acquintance of the [[Horns of Hammerad]], who helped her out by taking her to [[Liscor]], where she met [[Ceria Springwalker|Ceria's]] former friend [[Pisces]]. He healed Ryoka for forty gold coins, much less than a high-level healer would have charged for a [Restoration] spell.<ref name=":Chapter 1.06 R" />
Ryoka was then blocked by the Runner's Guild until she would agree to meeting Magnolia again, which Ryoka staunchly refused. Instead, she took a request to run into the highly dangerous [[High Passes]], where she met [[Teriarch]] who gave her the quest to find Az'kerash for a delivery.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/12/14/1-07-r/ Chapter 1.07 R] to [https://wanderinginn.com/2016/12/28/1-09-r/ Chapter 1.09 R]</ref> Ryoka accepted, but first asked the adventurer Ceria about how to do magic, and it turned out that she is able to perform a little.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/04/1-34/ Chapter 1.34]</ref> Ryoka, in a bad mood, then dueled both the adventurers [[Yvlon Byres]] and [[Calruz]], which didn't go too well for her.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/15/1-12-r/ Chapter 1.12 R]</ref>
Desperate again and disgusted with herself, Ryoka set out past Liscor for the [[Bloodfields]], but couldn't find anything there except the willpower to run back to Liscor and search for her (hopefully) friends, if they would even have her after the bad impression she left with them. Ryoka was crushed to learn that the Horns of Hammerad had utterly perished in their expedition into the [[Ruins of Liscor]] just days earlier.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/04/1-45/ Chapter 1.45]</ref>
Just in that situation, Ryoka got an invitation to a magical Group Chat and learned that she is by far not the only [[Earthworlders|person from Earth]] stuck in this foreign world, and that there are other groups, either meaning ill or well, who are after them, probably for their secret knowledge. This group chat changed Ryoka's entire outlook, since she now knew she needs to cooperate with others and prevent the worst. After Ryoka recovered from that discovery in an inn on the wayside, the [Innkeeper] [[Erin Solstice]] revealed that she is from Earth as well.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/12/2-01/ Chapter 2.00]</ref>
Ryoka impressed on Erin to keep their secret about their common origins. After being told by [[Pisces]] that [[Ceria]] might still be alive, they mounted a rescue expedition into the ruins to get her out.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/22/2-04/ Chapter 2.03]</ref> Then, the Named Adventurer [[Gazi]] appeared and tried to kidnap both girls, and they only narrowly escaped that fate.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/28/2-06/ Chapter 2.05]</ref>
That same day, winter started, and Ryoka, trying to earn them more money, eventually left [[Liscor]] to make more serious preparations for her run into the south. She first turned north, pestered by [[Frost Faeries]], and found the [Alchemist] [[Octavia]] in [[Celum]],<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/09/2-09/ Chapter 2.08]</ref> from whom she ordered some potions, including a stink potion which she used to get to Teriarch again. Facing that strange 'elven mage' again, she renegotiated the deal with him.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/14/2-12/ Chapter 2.12]</ref>
On her return to Liscor, she met two Couriers, [[Valceif Godfrey|Val]] and [[Hawk]], the first of whom helped Ryoka to fight against the memory block with which Teriarch hid from Ryoka that he is in fact a mighty dragon. As she stayed at Erin's inn again, Ryoka also helped Erin holding an impromptu iPhone concert.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/22/2-16/ Chapter 2.17]</ref>
Ryoka made a second attempt to complete her delivery to Az'kerash soon after, but was harassed for over a week by Frost Faeries until she was rescued from an avalanche by [[Mrsha]], a young [[Gnolls|Gnoll]] from the [[Stone Spears Tribe]]. Ryoka became friends with their leader [[Urksh]] and also reconciliated with the Faeries.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/24/2-23/ Chapter 2.28]</ref> On her way to [[Az’kerash]] she also met [[Ilvriss]] and [[Zel Shivertail]] battling each other, then she escaped the Necromancer<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/28/2-25/ Chapter 2.30]</ref> and also rescued Mrsha from the [[Reiss|Goblin Lord]]. Two of her fingers were bitten off by a goblin, which is a lasting scar.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/06/11/2-29/ Chapter 2.35]</ref> She got little rest afterwards, as she had to track down Erin just three days later, when Erin was abducted by [[Toren]] to [[Celum]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/07/22/2-39/ Chapter 2.46]</ref>

In Celum, Ryoka and Erin had to stay for some days, during which time Ryoka got to befriend [[Ivolethe]]. Then, she got the chance to meet the reformed [[Horns of Hammerad]] in [[Ocre]], but was pulled from their inn immediately by [[Ressa]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/09/02/3-09/ Chapter 3.09]</ref>
She was brought to Invrisil where Lady Magnolia talked with her. Afterwards, Ryoka was allowed to study in her library before she got to know [[Laken Godart]] who was searching for help for [[Riverfarm]]. Ryoka agreed to help out and made a supply run right before [[Winter Solstice]].
Az'kerash's ultimatum. Death of Brunkr. Ivolethe "dies", but Ryoka is saved by Teriarch.
Ryoka stayed in [[Reizmelt]] where she met, among others, Farmer [[Lupp]], Innkeeper [[Madain]], Fistfighter [[Alber]] and enterprising [[Vampires|Vampire]] [[Fierre]], the latter of whom becomes a new friend.
On request of Lady [[Bethal Walchaís]], Ryoka made a run to [[Walta]], where she met [[Charlay]]; together with the [[Centaurs|Centaur]] she followed a request by [[Laken Godart]] who requested Ryoka to oversee his [[Unseen Empire]]. Ryoka persevered through the crisis there that involved Witch Hunters and a Drake [Arsonist] laying a major conflagration, then returned towards Reizmelt where she rescued Magnolia's Earthers during an [Assassin] attack and told them to go to Liscor.
Weeks after sending Magnolia's Earthworlders to the south without guidance nor their electronics, Ryoka was ambushed by the [[Bloodfeast Raiders]] near Celum on her way to Teriarch from whom she hoped assistance. The Dragon gave her tips on how to see Ivolethe again.
